Hot and Spicy

A huge thank you to everyone who joined in with Jo's Fluttery Butterfly dare - the cards were, as ever wonderful, and so varied.

We hope that you are finding Lythan's tutorial both informative and inspiring - it gives a whole new and uniquely "you" dimension to all those patterned papers we love so much, doesn't it?Please keep sharing the cards you're making, we love to see them.

This week's Dare theme is a team effort rather than a challenge just thought up by just one of us.

We'd like you to take the phrase"Hot and Spicy" and make of it what you will.

It could be colour themed, food themed or maybe have just a hint of saucy spicy-ness

Should be interesting!When you've finished spicing up your cards, please share what you make in the usual ways :)

Finally, we have some happy news to share. Tanya has agreed to join us on the Design Team as a full time member. Tanya's work is lovely, and we are really pleased to have us join the team full time. Welcome aboard Tanya.

Oh my goodness - what a wonderful place you have here. I love the fact that you stimulate crafters in such a fun way!

Nick (http://paper-penguins.blogspot.com) left a comment on my blog and so I had to go in search of what she was referring to. So in honor of Nick's beautiful comment I would like to share my creation in your challenge. Following is the link to my "Hot and Spicy" card - being I am blonde and all I don't know how to insert proper links and so here it is in the long form: http://ellenhutson.typepad.com/ellen_hutson_simple_dream/2008/04/questions-regar.html
